Looks like it's gonna be one of those days

Sittin' here in traffic, twenty minutes late.

Just about then, that old DJ plays a song that takes me back.

Had a beat-up car with a new tape deck

A few jump shots, nothing but net.

A three-piece band and a Gibson/Fire brand;

The first song I learned was "Sweet Home Alabam'."

Summer outta school, we were six- or seventeen.

You wrapped some tape 'round my new class ring.

And, life was so fine back in those times.

Drinking 'em ponies up on Tiger Hill.

Yeah, I miss it, hey I wish it wasnt over. Still,

I don't want to go back to stay.

But, what I wouldn't give for one of those days.

I don't know exactly how I got where I am,

From those old back roads to this traffic jam.

Wishing I could find me an exit ramp and just keep right on going.

I wonder if you ever hear an old song

And think about us when you're singing along.

Come home telling your Mom and Pa

'Bout all them movies that we never saw.

Summer outta school, we were six- or seventeen.

You wrapped some tape 'round my new class ring.

And, life was so fine back in those times.

Drinking 'em ponies up on Tiger Hill.

Yeah, I miss it, and I wish it wasn't over. Still,

I don't want to go back to stay.

But, what I wouldnt give for

One of those days when one of these days comes along.

One of those days that just don't seem so far gone.

Spoken: Take me home now!

Summer outta school, we were six- or seventeen.

We were dating, barely waiting; we were full of our dreams.

And, life was so fine back in those times.

Drinking 'em ponies up on Tiger Hill.

Hey, I miss it, hey I wish it wasn't over. Still,

I don't want to go back to stay.

I am the man I am today.

But, sometimes life turns a yearbook page,

And, what I wouldn't give for one of those days.

One of those days.

Gimme one of those days.

One of those days.
